Back Home But Getting More Bad News.

Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario, Canada.

This post covers two days as a way of keeping track of our activities for the days. Monday morning came and we were already in the Lobby Breakfast Area by 8:00 which meant as soon as we were done eating breakfast we headed back to our room to finish packing. When it came time to start loading we were able to load both the truck and car making it easier to empty our room. Even though the Stonecroft Hotel in Windsor was one of the nicer hotels we’ve stayed in after fourteen days we were just wanting to get back in our Home. By 9:20 we were taking the east bound ramp on the E.C. Rowe Expressway. 

Back at Leisure Trailer.

Just after 9:45 we were walking in the door at Leisure Trailer in Lakeshore having had a non-stop trek across the city. As soon as Stephanie saw us she was all smiles telling us that one of the techs had gone over to the Paint Shop to bring our trailer back. We went through the paper work inside the Air-Conditioned Building as we waited to get back to comfortable living. 

All hooked up on our site.

It was nearly 10:15 when our trailer arrived and I headed outside to prep the truck for towing while Stephanie went out to inspect the paint job personally. The next thing we knew all the bosses were outside looking at something that Stephanie was very upset about. When we got a chance to look at it the Paint Shop did a perfect job of matching the paint on one corner of the trailer but not near the front Cap. It was noted that the Crack in the outer skin was still visible and nobody at Leisure Trailer was very happy about it. The rest of the trailer checked out so it was decided the repair would be done in the fall before we head south. 

Finally back on our site.

It was after 1:00 by the time we were all leveled on our site with our utilities all connected at Wildwood Golf and RV Park. With the Humidex already feeling like 99 F (37 C) we headed up to the 19^th Hole Restaurant for lunch. It was quick and filling but we didn’t have time to dawdle. 

We started getting things we had brought with us to the Hotel set back up but we had to leave shortly after 2:15 to drive back to Tecumseh. Our daughter Karen is out of town for a few days and needed someone to drive Tyler to work on Monday. Something else had come up but instead of reneging on our promise we called Tyler up so we could get him to the west side McDonalds early. We even got our bag of frozen food that had been stored in the Garage Refreshment Fridge.

We dropped Tyler off by 3:00, an entire hour before his shift before heading back Home in McGregor. Once everything was in the Freezer we were off to Essex. We arrived at our daughter-in-law Jen’s home before 4:00 and had a chance to visit with her before our daughter Rose arrived after 5:00 to pick up D.J. who had spent the summer visiting with his cousins. It was past 6:00 before we all said our goodbyes and headed back Home.

By the time we had everything comfortably set up it was past 9:00 before we sat down to work on our Computers. That was when we found out we had no Internet Connection. Making a call to our provider we could only leave a message for him to get back to us this morning. Just before 11:00 we found out we also had no Cable so we couldn’t even watch the Local 11 o’clock News. 

Ruby King Chinese Restaurant in Amherstburg.

It felt great sleeping in our own bed listening to the rain hitting the roof. With limited food on hand we enjoyed being the only ones in our dining room for breakfast this morning.

We were about to head back to Tecumseh to pick up the rest of our belongings temporarily being stored in our daughter’s garage when Stephanie called. She had already spoken to the owner of the Body Shop about the crack on the sidewall. He claims he repaired it and if it was back with less then thirty miles on the trailer there’s a Structural Problem somewhere on the Frame near the Pinbox. When Stephanie said it will need to go back to Jayco in Indiana for the repairs and that we’ll probably have to empty it again it was too much for Kathy. She didn’t want to go put anything else in the trailer. Stephanie assured her that it would be a month or two before it could be scheduled in. 

Won Ton Soup.

Chris from Cable 1 finally showed up and found that our Cable had been disconnected at the Terminal Post. He also found another problem once he had it reconnected so he had to replace the Coaxial Cable from our Post to our trailer. By the time he left our Internet and Cable TV had been restored.

Kathy was still shaken from all this bad news we seem to be getting but we needed to get groceries so we headed for Amherstburg. It was nearly 3:00 and we hadn’t had lunch yet so we stopped at another place our son had recommended, the Ruby King Chinese Restaurant. On the outside of the building it looked small and someplace you’d drive by. Inside it was bright, clean and colourful. It is a family run business and the food was Homemade, Delicious and Reasonably Priced. We both took nearly half of our meals Home for a late supper. 

We went to Walmart and got some groceries that we knew we needed before heading Home. We also stopped at our son Kevin’s to pick up our refrigerated food that was stored in his Refreshment Fridge in the garage. 

Kevin's 29 Coupe he recently started working on.

We had all the food put away when I realized that I’d forgotten to pick up some Vitamin Pills I needed to do our Doucettes tonight. The closest Shoppers Drug Mart was in Essex so that’s where we headed. We managed to get back Home on time for the Local 6 o’clock News. When it was finished Kathy rewarmed our leftover Chinese Food and it tasted as good the second time around as when we got it fresh. While Kathy did the supper dishes and got caught up on her Computer reading I did up our Pill Doucettes for the next six and a half weeks. 

Sever Thunderstorms going through our area this afternoon.

We’ve got a busy day planned for tomorrow. We’ll also just have to calm down and wait to hear back from Stephanie who is dealing with Jayco on our behalf. Looks like we might be spending time in another motel this fall. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
